Clarification of terms

Is there any clear date as to her years in office. I've seen conflicting information that her term alternatively ended in 1993, 1994, and 1995. Ryoga-2003 (talk) 23:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to the information in the HCR linked above, she served 8 terms in the House, if that helps. Lots of other good info in there too. Katr67 (talk) 23:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So unless there were unusual circumstances, like she stepped down early, that means she would have been a representative until January 1995, when her successor (elected in 1994) would have taken over. She would have served through the 1993 session but continued to be a representative between sessions. Katr67 (talk) 23:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Still doesn't make much sense to me. Guess that's why I'm not much into politics. So, should we say that she served into 1995? Ryoga-2003 (talk) 00:07, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, she would not have served in the 1995 session which is the 68th session of the Oregon Legislature. Her last session, where she took part in votes was the 67th Legislative Session in 1993. She was defeated in May 1994, but her term did not expired until her replacement was sworn in on January 9, 1995. That is why it reads as she served in the legislature from 1979-1995 --Emk4ever (talk) 10:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think that is what we were saying. :) Katr67 (talk) 13:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Election Results

I've got five terms worth of election results for MAF 1980-1988, both primary and general election match ups. The only problem is they are only percentages. Not the raw vote totals. Does anyone care that they wouldn't be raw vote totals? I'm sure I can get raw vote totals for 94, 92, 90, 88 if I dig a little bit, it will just take some time to go through some papers of mine. --Emk4ever (talk) 10:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
